Despite decades of operational experience and focused research efforts, standards for
sizing and configuring buffers in network systems remain controversial. An extreme example …

Bufferbloat has drawn much attention in the network community for its negative impact on
TCP delay performance and user QoE. Recently, it has been more commonly noted in …

Conducting experiments in large-scale distributed systems is usually time-consuming and
labor-intensive. Uncontrolled external load variation prevents to reproduce experiments and …

It is not uncommon for the uplink buffers of cellular data networks to be saturated when the
uplink bandwidths are low. This can cause the ACK packets for a downlink TCP flow to be …

Mobile augmented reality (MAR) applications are gaining popularity due to the wide
